To convert the mixed number \(8 \frac{4}{5}\) into an improper fraction and then into a decimal, you can follow these steps:

1. Convert \(8 \frac{4}{5}\) to an improper fraction:
\[
8 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{8 \times 5 + 4}{5} = \frac{40 + 4}{5} = \frac{44}{5}
\]

2. To find the decimal equivalent, divide \(44\) by \(5\):
\[
44 \div 5 = 8.8
\]

So, Raul's speed of \(8 \frac{4}{5}\) miles per hour is equal to \(8.8\) miles per hour.

The unit rate is \(8.8\) miles per hour.
